Pruning dilemma
Biziostarted grow question 4 years ago
I am noticing that some leaves are turning yellow at the very bottom of some plants, I think that there is not enough light coming through. So my question is (I did only LST and FIM --> on the main branch on every plant) should I start to prune some branches to empower top part?

Yes definitely! Anything under 5 nodes on each branch is pretty worthless...

Your plant look great and you can start the defoliating the big fan leaves from the bottom up and anything that is covering New Growth or potential new branches that can be used to create buds.
defoliation is a little bit of an art it take some time to realize what is beneficial and what is not but feel free to try here and there
that's how we learn the plans really don't mind much about it hope this information helps you out good luck with your garden

Foxtailing Yellow Leaves White Trichomes - WHAT HAVEW I DONE?!Hi! It's my first grow and I thought I was Doing alright. After I've bought a tent, seems like things got worse. My flower is an auto in week 13.4 (supposed to take 9-10weeks) and I'm flushing since about 10 days. Still the trichomes are pretty clear. What should I do?

Leaf IssuesHey all, my almost 5 week old Moby dick auto flower is starting to show some issues in the first week of flower. She got a dose of Veggie nutes 5 days ago, and a little bit of Bloom yesterday trying to fix it. Temps have been high and humidity low, would that cause this?

Lower leaves too pale or yellowing?I am noticing the lower leaves of my Royal Critical Automatic to be much more pale green than the top of the plant.
Is this a nutrient/light/watering/lst stress problem if at all?
First Grow. Started balcony, moved to tent D23.
SF-1000 light, 100% at ~ 55cm from canopy.

Yellow on leavesDay 13 leaves started to look yellow / dull on tips hasn't seemed to improve 2 days later, it is the auto soil premix I'm guessing the roots are getting close the soil and nutes kicking in or does this look like another issue?

2 autos with crispy feeling sad looking leaves, how can I help them? (more info in diary pl & crit)2 of my autos have been growing leaves that feel crispy and look deformed. I have been watering when the top 5 cm of the soil dries, but I fear maybe I fed them too much nutrients. The temp has also been on the high side (30C 80F). What could be wrong and what can I do for them?

Defoliation for better ventilation?Should I defoliate/prune to ensure better ventilation? I am going to flip the plant soon. It is quite bushy with big leaves and sometimes it is difficult to water it as there are a lot of leaves down there.
And when is it better to put the net? Before of after the flip?

White spots on a few leavesAny idea what these whitish yellow spots are? They appeared overnight. I'm growing in ffof with perlite and ewc. No nutes added yet, just bush doctor cal mag at half dose 3 days ago with great white, recharge, and photosynthesis Plus which was the last watering of 1.2 liters.

Advise to flush or feed in VegDoes this is look like a nute burn, deficiency, or ph problem? The two plants that are growing a tad taller have had yellowing tips some curling downward. Don’t want to overreact and cause it to worsen, they’re looking healthy otherwise. Any advise whether to flush or feed?

Should I do full flush til runoff is 300ppm?So, it is obviously a deficiency, which probably caused by a lockout. Will the full flush solve it?
Yesterday I fed her a full dose of flowering nutes. Including K. It didn't change much. Lower fan leaves continue to go yellow.
Today 3L water, pH:6.2,
runoff:0.6l, ppm:1450, Ph6.0

Buon giorno weed doctors, did anyone have similar uniform chlorosis at the top or maybe knows what's up? What could be the reason and the solution? ThIs this some sort of immobile nutrient deficiency or excess? Could this be caused by heat and light stress? She is 80cm tall and almost touches the lights in the tent. I'm usually suffering from Calmag and Nitrogen issues and haven't yet experienced yellowing from the top. Thanks

Starting to yellowSo I had good growth up until 2 days ago when the one plant started to yellow. I had them going 24 hours a day and I got grow dots mixed in the bottom two thirds of the pots. Could this be light stress? or could it be hungry?
